I'm chilled to the bone this rainy day.
It's been pouring and pouring my time away.
My words are circling again in my head
while the rain comes down and the worms are fed.
It's the change in temperature that's chilled me so.
It's my change in thinking that takes me low.
I'm a sun-lover whose words come alive
just like the sunflower, they seem to thrive.
So I'll warm myself and layer my clothes
and use some tissues to warm my nose.
The warmth of the pen with its ink-like blood
will fill the page while the rain does flood.
And at the end of this rain-dreary day
I'll reflect back and find a way
to warm my bones and welcome my bed,
then cover up the words that were in my head.
Another lovely write Edwina! The big difference between you and I is I love to write when it is grey and raining like today. The summer heat saps most of my inspirations. I can totally realate to the closing line! I always believe a great write should have a killer opening line to hook the reader and I great close so they want more. You accomplished this with ease and grace. Beautiful work!

We've had far too much rain in GB this summer, so I know just what you mean - good write.
